in that point Apple and Nvidia are the Good ones ;-) and intel is the Evil.

Intel is also the ones that killed Havok FX after having both nVidia and ATi demoing it on their hardware some 2 years earlier (GDC2006) then nVidia purchasing Physx. Chances are if intel didn't purchase and kill Havok FX nVidia would have never purchased Agiea a few years later to provide their own solution.

"Intel do doubt saw that allowing Havok FX to live would mean giving more substance to the value of a GPU over a CPU, a market they still can't really compete in."

intel is evil i know...
i never buy an intel cpu or product in the last 12 years.
and in the future i will never buy any product of this company.

but in my point of view nvidia fails on physX because an open standart like openCL and bulledphysik are much better also for nvidia thats because if there is more usage for an GPU nvidia will sell more GPUs and intel will lose more and more because no one need an fast CPU anymore.
on an open Standard like openCL only intel is the loser.
nvidia waste there time on CUDA and PhysX.

What the developers use for a physics engine is up to the developer. If a developer is willing to go through the "growing pains" of getting another physics engine going on GPU then they still have that option. Nobody is blocking them from doing so. Nvidia also contributes to openCL and probably has the best implementation of it out there along with some of the best documentation. They are not forcing anybody to use Cuda or Physx, that is the choice of the developer. If you don't like the developer using Physx then complain to the developer.
